EDUCATIONAL RESERVES.

Saturday, 30th April, 1870. Oamaru Town, Sections 1 and 2, Block 38, 2 roods. Henry Frederick Hardy, being duly sworn, states : In continuation of my evidence given on the 28th instant, I have now to state that these sections are occupied by James Ashcroft, as a tenant at will, who has, up to October last, paid a rent of £10 a year; but this amount is to be reduced for the future. The funds are applied to Church purposes generally at Oamaru, and are administered by the Vestry of Saint Luke's.

City of Dunedin, Reserve No. 10, 2 roods 32 perches. — Manse Site. Edmund Smith, being duly sworn, states : I am Factor for the Presbyterian Church of Otago. (Record copy, book P. 1, p. 2, produced.) I know this land. The boundary has been altered in consequence of Government having reclaimed the land below high-water mark. The original sea boundary has accordingly been straightened, but no alteration has taken place in the area of the lot. The greater portion of the ground is let in allotments to tenants, producing a revenue of about £1,100 a year. Hitherto the whole of this revenue has been expended in the erection of the new church and manse on Church Hill, and this is to go on to the extent of £10,000 for the church, £2,000 having already been expended in the erection of a manse. The remainder of the ground is unoccupied.

City of Dunedin, Reserve No. 5, 2 roods 25 perches. — Church and School Site. Edmund Smith, being duly sworn, states (Record copy, book P. 1, p. 3, produced) : The boundary of this land has been altered in the same manner as the preceding section. At present a church stands upon it, used by the First Church of Dunedin, and a portion is let for a term of years at £70 per annum. The income is accumulating at present with a view of being applied to the erection and maintenance of a College. 21
